    Newbie from California

    Welcome, How's saddle hunting working out for you? I'll be hunting D5 this year. I'm new to hunting and Saddle hunting. I think the Californians think I'm crazy for attempting to hunt from a tree much less a saddle.

    Hand held gps with sos

    OnX was worthless at tracking and creating waypoint on my Iphone while scouting and placing trail cameras today. Is Garmin InReach better when remote? I didn't have offline maps down loaded. Could that have been the issue? It seemed to wonder a lot and be off by why more than the typical 50' or...

    Cellular trail cam tactics

    My Link Micros seem to be transmitting whenever they capture an image. I deployed a few today that don't seem to be connecting. I'm guessing they don't have enough bars. My buddy was acting like a sissy and rushing me while deploying them. Seriously not gonna have a bear sighting with all the...

    Cellular trail cam tactics

    And that's why I'm wearing my .45 while checking the trail cams. This on was only on the SD card it didn't get transmitted over cellular.

    Blacktail deer?

    So far I've only spotted a couple doe on the trail cams. I see the bears more often. I hope to venture deeper into the property this weekend and deploy a few more cams. I'm still trying to locate bedding and water. They're feeding near the cabin and likely on some adjacent properties. My buddy...

    Activated Carbon Information

    Just arrived! Any of you have opinions on the stuff sack vs tote? I'm going to need another one to also fit the parka. As you can see, I'm drinking the kool-aid and gonna give it a go. Whew! this stuff is hot. The base layer is much thicker than I thought. I didn't realize the Reactor pants...

    Cellular trail cam tactics

    Yeah, I really want to deploy my Hobie PA on a hunt. Love the idea of float back to the launch with a trophy on the back. :) Maybe next season. I worry setting up a mock scrape will kill the activity I already have. I'm torn on this concept.

    Blacktail deer?

    D-5 A few years back a was hiking in Santa Cruz, Mt. I got ahead on my friends and was alone. I swear there was a Mt Loin hissing and purring at me. I felt really vulnerable as I could not see it. That's happened to me twice. The other time near Lake Stumpy. Also got out ahead of my buddies. The...

    Activated Carbon Information

    Old post I know but I also want to point out the dog is tracking not trying to hide from you. I'm a dog guy myself. Maybe a novice, but I've watched my dog do a fair amount of tracking. She's going to follow the scent cone so long as it's getting stronger the closer she gets to it. How well the...

    Blacktail deer?

    That's what the GoPro is for, evidence. I hear ya though. I'll still get a bear tag just in case there are more than momma and this cub.

    Cellular trail cam tactics

    I've been listening to podcast like crazy. I believe it was Don Higgins that mentioned the annual cam data is best for patterning. His best point was, you want to get ahead of the deer and be there waiting on em. The pattern can change throughout the season so my cams haven't really been up long...

    Cellular trail cam tactics

    It's my 1st year deer hunting, running trail cams and saddle hunting. Whew! I started with 1 Spypoint link Evo and 2 micro links. I wasn't totally happy with em. I bought 2 Bushnell Impulses but they didn't even get signal in my backyard. I took those back to BassPro today and left with 4 more...

    What rifle is everyone using?

    Nice, This year I'll be hunting with grandma's old Savage 30-30. Poor man's 788. I got a little carried away with the mods. She had the stock cut to fit her. I didn't what replace the stock so I've added a recoil pad and cheek riser. Was planning to use Hornady LeverEvolution FTX but now I have...
